Not your typical Mommy/Child music class! Rock-a-Baby (or R-a-B as our
friends call us) is an interactive music program for infants and toddlers.
Parents come along for the class or concert as we introduce the stars of our
show - three large Jim Henson style puppets named Melody, Rhythm and
Harmony. We'll introduce themes through music and dance - exploring simple
musical concepts through live and recorded sound. Children experience everything
from Beethoven and Bach to rap and rock!
Rock-a-Baby promotes musical understanding and child development with:
- Curriculum developed by NYU trained music educator, Marc Trachtenberg
- Interactive play
- Hand movement
- Body movement
- Rhythmic repetition
- Improvisation with real instruments designed for children
- Melodic recognition and repetition
- Pictorial imagination
- Expectation and continuity
- Appropriate volume levels for infants and toddlers

remind them to be "aware" of the younger participants. Cash or checks made out
